OIL PAINTINGS

Yesterday I handed in all my art coursework. So after a rather busy week of painting and working on my sketchbook, here are two of my favourite pieces I created for my coursework.

The topic I chose for the coursework was 'Food & Cultures' which eventually led me to looking at market stalls as I love the busy atmosphere and beautiful displays. So after masses of research and development, I ended up with these two oil paintings. (Also can we please have a moment of appreciation for the beautiful wooden tables of the art room)

My Easter holidays started today so things are looking up. I think I might just sleep forever and ever starting now.

Except now I need to create an exam folder...

Melting, Markets & Le Mont Blanc

Here is the last mish mash of photos from our holiday in France.

They include E & I playing tennis in the sweltering heat (E wearing jeans was not a good idea), one of many trips to the market, the morning after the storm in our village & our view from the plane... Le Mont Blanc!

All the french markets we saw were not only lovely to look at (despite me not liking cheese...) but also very inspiring for my A2 Art which carries along this theme.

The flight home was calm & quick, seeing this pretty sight was a definite bonus. Le Mont Blanc peeking above the clouds.

Also as a little update, I'm off to Reading festival tomorrow!!!!!!! (Yes that many exclamation marks are definitely in order.) Bring on the smelly days of brilliant music & good company. And it's such perfect timing to celebrate AS (and one A2) exam results too.

Listening tooooo: 'Better Off' by Haim, 'Daniel in the Den' by Bastille, 'High Hopes' by Kodaline, 'Radar Detective' by Darwin Deez & basically everyone that's going to be at Reading...
